What are you guys running at? I just got my little old HD7750 to 900mhz core and 1250mhz RAM, got a little boost, doesn't really run any hotter.

1050 core clock on my 290. Custom watercooler. Crashes at 1075. I want to clock it way higher though.
What a coincidence. I'm actually in the process of overclocking my gtx 980 and I see this thread.
I seem to be mostly stable on my 390 at 1150/1650, GTAV crashes easily but everything else runs pretty fine.
Honestly I kinda gave up and run it stock most of the time, doesn't really overclock much and difference in FPS seems mostly negligible

-150MHz coreclock on my GTX 660 because of TDR.
I always lose the silicon lottery. I always get chips that fail and TDR.
>>55052341
1020/1500 on a 7850, core can do 1125 but its not really worth it as the memory cant do more than 1550 and its a bad ratio (perfect ratio for pitcairn is .68 core to 1 memory)
>>55053404
HD7750 here, my slider is greyed out, but I wouldn'y mess with it, since that when you start tearing things up, just see what you get get out of the stock clocks and roll with it 24/7 like I do.
970 g1 gaming
Modded bios to increase max voltage.
Can hit 1600mhz, works long enough to benchmark with valley but will usually crash.
Run it at 1530 for 24/7
Wanted to watercool it, but just sold it and will be packaging it up tomorrow for shipping ;-;
I don't touch memory on it anymore since it doesn't change my performance noticeably.
Will be getting a 1070 and waterblock so i can overclock to the moon.
>>55053473
>>55053491
Oh shit, nice. I'm still too pussy to do it, because all I have other than this card if it breaks is a GT 610 and it's garbage.
>>55053473
You need to activate it from the settings
>>55053435
Are you braindead? The slider on your card is limited to +45mV or even less you can't kill the card with it. Also higher voltage means more stability at higher clocks
>>55053435
He's right, you autitistic retard. There's no reason not to crank it to the max. Unless you've edited your card's BIOS, the max value you'll be allowed to set is perfectly safe. Go take your meds.
oh shit nigga lets see what it do
>>55053501
>>55053508
To be fair I've realised increasing voltage to max on my 980 increases the temp by quite a bit. I was just playing star wars battlefront with no additional voltage and was averaging low 70's but when I bumped voltage to +37 my temps went up by 10°c. It could be something totally unrelated though which caused that though.
>>55053531
Unrelated which caused that though *
>>55053516
Crank the power target and the max T, setup custom fan profile. Then crank up everything else
only 760 watt so can't really increase power % more
GTX 660 runs stock because +10% power target is not much room on a 140W card, and the temp limit is capped to 70C. I'd have to flash the bios to unlock those, and even then I'd still be limited by the shitty blower heatsink used on the reference cards.
GT 440 OEM could in theory go higher, but I am limited by slot power and the shitty single slot heatsink currently on it.
boiiiiiiiiiiiiii
>>55053543
>>55053576
Now test it with Firestrike to see if it is stable, also look for artifacts and monitor the temperature
If everything is alright you can continue to increase the core clock or start increasing the memory
>>55053499
Dont worry about it at all. Unlock the voltage control and set afterburner to use extended/enhanced slider values (i forgot exactly what it says)
I used to own a 7770 and from what I remember about Cape Verde, you're 100% safe using max voltage (cheap cards do not have a voltage regulator that goes any higher than whats safe). Dont try going over 1150 core and 1550 memory. I would settle for 1100/1500 at +20 power limit if its stable on that card. Dont forget to set a custom fan curve, I dont know your specific model but if you can get mid/high 70s temp in games at 50-60% fan you should be fine, also those chips can handle 95C non stop, I ran my 7770 mining dogecoins in a 100f room on powercolors shitty stock heatsink for two weeks.
>>55053606
I got it to 1100MHz and 76C in Unigine benchmark, not bad for a single slot.
>>55053558
760w is plenty you assman
Max that shit out.

thats fine.. right? as long as its not at 90+?
>>55053635
Doesn't matter what temp its running as long as its not thermal throttling.

look at the graphs m8, its sli lol

>>55053531
More voltage = more power = higher temps
>>55053689
Which is exactly why you should test the thing in the extreme and worst case scenario. Just like with CPU overclocking where you want to start running Prime95/Aida64 etc for hours with different benches to torture the system, you do it with Furmark/Firestrike with GPUs. If it is stable here, you can be almost certain it will be stable in games. And if it is stable during torture benches, you can try adding up more OC. Sure you if want to push your card to the absolute limit by ignoring the performance in torture tests, be my guest.
>>55053711
Both of my GPUs have different fan curve limits, so the extended curve here above the upper limit is for the 440 OEM, which in all honesty needs it because that little fucker can get hot.
Gigabyte 280 (not 280X), runs stabile with temp maxed out at 60C, fan speed 66%
How do I go about overclocking my i5 4670k? I know you do it in the bios but past that I have no idea what i'm doing. Is it even worth it? Does overclocking only increase the load i'm allowed to put it under or does it actually perform faster doing tasks?

You need mobo with Z97 chipset everything else is easy AF.
Just increase the multiplier every increase by 1 means 100MHz higher clock. You will see significant performance boost. But be wary you need a decent CPU cooler too
6670 reporting, 900Mhz core 1100Mhz mem
>>55053749
100% before 80? hmm
I cap my 980tis at 84 because that's where I read it's designed to throttle, seems a bit low to me what you have
>>55053803
The GTX 660 doesnt get that hot, but the 440 OEM builds up heat rapidly, so I have to ramp the fan up aggressively after 70C to get a handle on the heat. Even so at maximum fan speed the 440 OEM can and has gone over 80C at times.
>>55053753
scratch that, this is what I use.. wrong preset
>>55053689
That means turn your memory down genius, you're frying it.
>>55053960
It could be the core
>>55053843
Just drop 50 bux on a new old card or a better cooler, you'll be happy either way. 106 tdp is nothing, its probably 170 max oc at most
>>55054042
I would if i could. The problem is that for the 440, its location means there's very little room for a larger third party heatsink, and little space for the heat to be released (its in the bottomost slot of my board, as I have reason to believe the second GPU slot on my board/the PCI-E lanes feeding it from my CPU are damaged when another one of my GPUs burned out), and getting a newer GPU, either for my primary or secondary GPU, is going to cost more than $50 simply because no one wants to sell em cheaper.
I cant even rig up some basic watercooling for my rig because I dont have the space, and even if I did i'd have to invest even more money into a shitton of those little stick-anywhere mini-heatsinks for the VRMs
How do I into over clocking my 380 properly?
I just put the power slider at +15% and GPU clock up ~12%. Should I start playing with voltages or wot?
>>55053768
>How do I go about overclocking my i5 4670k?
Google, that's the best answer. Plenty of tutorials available.
The basic idea is to adjust the multiplier to increase the CPU clock speed. Increasing the multiplier by one step dials the clock up by 100 MHz increments(with stock BLCK frequency of 100 MHz, that is). Once you've done that, boot the system and run a few minutes of Prime95(for example) while monitoring the temperatures(HwMonitor). I also like to have CPU-Z and task manager open. If the system doesn't crash, go back to BIOS increase the multiplier one step again and repeat. Once you hit a limit where the system is unstable or doesn't boot at all you have two options: either dial the multiplier down where it was stable or increase Vcore voltage a tiny bit. You should be careful with voltage adjustments as the CPU heat output and power draw rise exponentially with higher voltages. Also never overclock using the stock cooler, get something better. The idea is to keep the system stable and temperatures acceptable. If these two conditions are met, you have achieved a good overclock. For proper testing run Prime95 combined tests for at least two hours to make sure it really is stable.
There are plenty things to learn here though for memory profiles and other various voltage settings, power saving, C-states, dynamic voltages and clock speeds(turbo). Read it up.
>Is it even worth it?
Depends on your usage and whether you are doing something where more CPU performance would benefit such as video encoding or if you are wanting to run your games at very high framerates and already have an extremely powerful GPU capable of doing that on the resolution you play at. For standard desktop use, not much benefit and some small risks. You decrease the lifetime of your CPU.
There's no such thing as "maximum allowed load", just how fast the CPU can do the tasks sent to it. Overclocking helps with the speed. You should be comfortable at running the CPU at 100% load.
>>55054407
How badly would a i5 4670 at 4GHz bottleneck SLI'd GTX 1080's?
>>55054443
It might not bottleneck them at all if you are running games at very high resolutions(4K) and high graphics settings as there the GPUs are likely to sweat. On lower resolutions and high framerates(1920x1080 144 Hz monitors for example), the GPUs will be heavily bottlenecked by that CPU. Then again I don't think you can do much better with the CPU for gaming, other than hoping you won in a silicon lottery and OC the crap out of it.

Probably not much. Depends on the usage.

Know what to adjust, have a good cooling solution and programs to benchmark and monitor the system. I wrote something here >>55054407 but you should really look up tutorials and more thorough write-ups of the process. Overclocking is fairly straightforward but it's handy if you already know what to do when you start the process as you will be running into bluescreens and crashes. Knowing how to solve the problem at that point just makes it less hassle free.
Running my sapphire nitro 380 4gb running at 1150 core, haven't touched memory yet since i have no idea how high i can push it before problems start. Anyone know how high i can go?. Stock voltage, cause i'm a stingy fuck and want to use this card as long as possible and i read that raising the voltage shortens the lifespan of the card. 120% power limit. My fan curve and case ventilation have kept the card under 65°C even in witcher 3.
